Abstract
Protocol for Dephosphorylation of 5´-ends of DNA using CIP in Restriction Enzyme Reaction. Uses the Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase (CIP - M0290).
Guidelines
Dephosphorylation of 5' -ends of DNA in Restriction Enzyme Reaction
  • The phosphate can be added directly into the digestion reaction during or after DNA digestion
  • CIP is active in all NEB restriction enzyme buffers
  • DNA purification is required before ligation

Safety warnings
Please refer to the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for health and environmental hazards.
Prepare a Amount20 µL reaction as follows:
AB
COMPONENTAMOUNT
DNA1 pmol of DNA ends*
CutSmart®  Buffer (10X)2 μl
CIP1 unit
H2O, purified to 20 μl**
* Note: 1 pmol of DNA ends is about 1 μg of a 3 kb plasmid.
** Scale larger reaction volumes proportionally.

Pipetting
Incubate at Temperature37 °C for Duration00:30:00 .
Incubation
Purify DNA by gel purification, spin-column (NEB #T1020 or NEB #T1030) or phenol extraction.
